Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Security: CAPS, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040219

When Quick Launch is enabled (and the browser is already running), any of the
following preferences in user.js will cause it to crash:

user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.focus", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.innerHeight.set", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.innerWidth.set", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.moveBy", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.moveTo", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.outerHeight.set", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.outerWidth.set", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.resizeBy", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.resizeTo", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.screenX.set", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.screenY.set", "noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.sizeToContent", "noAccess");

These preferences work if Quick Launch isn't enabled (or running a second time
after the browser has exited).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Quick Launch and get it running.
2. Close browser.
3. Place one of the prefs above into
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Profiles\<name>\<hash>\prefs.js
4. Start browser




I just upgraded from v1.5 to v1.7a.
Talkback wouldn't work so I saved the crash to a file, which I'll attach.

Attachment: Talkback data

Crash data from Talkback capture. (ZIPed because it's over size limit).

reporter: all we need is a talkback id, not some random zip file.

Comment 3

[Dan Mellem]

As I mentioned, Talkback wasn't working so I couldn't send the capture. Hence, I
saved it to a file and attached it instead so the data wasn't lost.

Quick Launch doesn't exist any more, even in SeaMonkey, so this bug is no longer valid.
